Nostromo

Nostromo, published in 1904, is one of Joseph Conrad’s most ambitious and complex novels. Set in the fictional South American country of Costaguana, the story revolves around a silver mine, political instability, and the fate of the incorruptible Nostromo. Through intricate narrative layers and shifting perspectives, Conrad examines imperialism, capitalism, and moral ambiguity. The novel’s richly drawn characters and philosophical depth make it a cornerstone of literary modernism and a profound exploration of human motives and colonial exploitation.
